Just One Last Thing
They were the only ones who could have prevented Tom’s name from being included in the publication, and nobody else could have done it. The person in charge of publishing was probably not paying much attention that he explicitly mentioned that Tom wanted to say anonymous and he is the one responsible for the article. It would seem that they did not do the operation in the slightest bit effectively at all.
Given that Tom’s identity was published in the newspaper and that it was common knowledge that he preferred to maintain his anonymity, Tom appears to be a much more likely suspect. Tom, he merely desired the freedom to express what was going through his head without the fear of being in trouble. But guess what he might be in trouble after all.
